Not your average PNM

2.) A girl we just accepted for our Spring 2009 pledge class is 24 and already has an associates degree, ALL of her pledge sisters are freshman but she is not seen as an outcast and fits in quite well.

As for recs I really don't see that you'd need them, at least at my school they were completely unheard of (small southern school, at most 8,000 people) or But I really wouldn't know, best thing to do would be to contact Panhellenic anyone else in the Greek Life department at your school.

I know you're trying to be helpful but:

Not all small schools are alike.

What is true at your school is not always true of others.

I know PLENTY of small schools in the South at which it would be very difficult for a 24 year old to get a bid.

So don't assume that because the sororities at your school regularly take 24 year olds, doesn't mean that hers will.

Also, you don't know her school, so you can't really tell her that she does not need recs.

diamond_dreams: I would get to know your particular school and determine if 24 year old upperclassmen regularly get bids.

Heck, I know plenty of small schools NOT in the South where it would be very difficult for a 24 year old to get a bid as well.

if it is samford university, recruitment is competitive, most of the chapters are top award winners within their sorority and being 24 would probably work against you.

Another thing to consider is that if you can't find any NPC information maybe your future school doesn't have NPC chapters. I know Trinity here in TX has only local greek-letter organizations and you would have to dig a little harder to get information.
